Forest Light 3-SOLD
I did this 6 foot panel as a commission for the new Exempla St. Joseph’s Hospital in Denver. It is a companion piece to Forest Light 2, both of which will hang in the surgery waiting room. I used many pieces of found papers and photos of trees and such from my own photo […]
The Possibility of Birds – SOLD
This is a rework of an old piece. In the process of stripping off the offending art of a former effort, I realized I was making the most wonderful textures. I left a lot of the tear off and worked tree trunks on top. I then added foliage, again, leaving a lot of the torn […]
Looking Ahead SOLD
I was inspired by a random newspaper head shot of an author. I just liked the way she looked. This collage doesn’t look a bit like the photo reference, but I hope I captured the essence of a literary lady. It was built on a 12×12 cradled board and is currently being exhibited in the […]
Glorious Garfield SOLD
Once again I have depicted good ol’ Mount Garfield in a collage. I decided to do a horizontal orientation this time because Garfield is really a horizontal silhouette as it stands at the end of the ridge of the Little Bookcliffs overlooking the Grand Valley. I decided to use stripes (many zebras)as a motif with […]
Tree Hugger SOLD
Mixed Media Collage with Oil 12″ x 12′ on cradled board For Sale: $500.00 I did this my latest in the series of forest collages as a demonstration for the Art Students’ League of Grand Junction in November. My demo was how to approach combining collage with oil paint. I brought along a collage background […]
Lady Tiles-SOLD
This small piece was done for a class project to demonstrate grid composition. I used Photoshop to manipulate copies of a watercolor painting I had done in a life drawing session. I then cut out the images and applied them to a cradled board. I was planning on adding more collage material and/or paint, but […]
Bill’s Tree SOLD
My former hairdresser, Bill, had an intriguing weeping mulberry tree in his front yard. It was full of intertwined branches in the winter and full of birds in the nicer weather. I always loved to walk by it on my way to his hair salon. Bill passed away in April 2012. I attempted this rendition of […]
Early Morning Bird Meeting SOLD
This is the third in my series of forest collages populated by birds and done on a 10×10 inch cradled board. It was featured in my show at The Dairy Art Center in Boulder, Colorado in July 15, 2011. This piece sold at the 2014 KAFM art auction.
Bird Party SOLD
I just finished this another one of my fantasy forest collages. This is done on a 10 inch by 10 inch cradled board so needs no framing. This painting has sold.
